The Nike KD 14 EP 'Essential' enhances the engineered mesh upper of Kevin Durant's iconic shoe by incorporating an abstract print consisting of black textile overlays. To ensure a secure fit, the shoe boasts a one-piece adjustable strap inspired by the Nike Air Presto, while paying tribute to the Bruin, one of Nike's earliest basketball models, through an elongated Swoosh. Thanks to its Cushlon midsole and full-length Zoom Air strobel, the shoe offers lightweight cushioning. Furthermore, the EP version features an extra-durable rubber outsole specifically designed for outdoor court play.
